Always add the Languages template to the page, so that users can link back to other languages. For example this page starts with:

−

== Updating source tree ==

+

+

<pre><nowiki>

+

{{Languages|Translation_HOWTO}}

+

</nowiki></pre>

+

+

Translated articles should not be added to the English category. Please always use the language suffix for the category name too.

+

+

=== Add your language to the list===

+

+

If your language does not appear in the languages list add a new line on [[Template:Languages]] for your language and it will.

+

+

=== Article titles ===

+

+

Please use the '''English''' title of the article. This will ensure that the language bar template can link to localized version of the article. For example: [[Main_Page]] and [[Main_Page/fr]].

+

+

=== Category names and category pages ===

+

+

The category names must be '''English'''. Append your language's code to the end. This will ensure that language bar will work and allow users to navigate between various languages of the category. For example: [[:Category:Hardware]] and [[:Category:Hardware/fr]].

+

+

If the category name becomes red in your article, that means there is no '''category page''' for this category yet in this language. (First make sure you don't have a typo in the name!) Please click that red category name, and create the category page for it, which contains the following:

+

+

* Languages template, same as on the English version of the category

+

* Parent categories, same as on the English version but with language suffixes

+

+

For example on [[:Category:Basic End User]]:

+

+

<pre><nowiki>

+

{{Languages|:Category:Basic End User}}

+

+

[[Category:Community/de]]

+

</nowiki></pre>

+

+

Of course you may want to translate the English description of this category too and add between these lines.

+

+

=== Finding what to translate ===

+

+

If you are not sure what page is most popular and ready for translation. Please refer to following list.

+

+

Please start at these pages. Or you can add the page you think is important.

* Most of packages in Openembedded tree allready iternationalised, its worth to review them

+

* Most of packages in [[OpenEmbedded]] tree already internationalized, its worth to review them

== Common space for localisation effort ==

openmoko-dev maillist may be perfect place for all tlocalisators to meet, it also possible to tag email hesders with [i18n] for example.
